California Department of Fish and Wildlife staff were called to the scene and the bear was tranquilized sometime before 10:30 a.m. in the driveway of a home in the 1100 block of Catalpa Road. The bear was believed to be between 300 and 350 pounds.

The bear will likely be relocated to a rural area and released back into the wild.

Welcome to the San Gabriel foothills! Grow up living in arcadia. We called once and APD came with rifles and not tranquilizers. I guess a common occurrence. Thank goodness the bear scared the officers off. We need to remember we took over their land and food sources. Thank you for what ever agencies helped APD. Sorry though to think he had to go so far down.
